We hay.e.' beeu favoured with a staterneut of ere number of 'vessels built and registered within this Island dining the past year, with an account of the Exports, extracted frern the;Custom-house Rooks. There appears to be a defi viency in' the export of agricultural 'produce compared, with Out of former years, but it is to be attributed to the increased ditnatid in the country,' arising from the 'extemkion of ship building, and of the number of hands to which it gives. Fm ployment. So great indeed has been the general increase in the population on the Island, that upon the average, we be- liere, the 'number of persons has been made up, which the • 'original grants of land required to be settled on each location. On -many allotments little has of course been done; but on • others the intentions of Government have been fully accomplished by the exertions and the liberality of the proprietors. We' have also been favoured with a copy of the Journal of the House of. A.ssembly for the Session commencing on the 12th of October last, *am which, it would appear that the utmost harmony and cordiality prevailed between his Excellency Colonel READ, the Gevernar, and the 'Legislature of this once distracted and mismanaged Colony. During this short Session several sub jects of importance, connected with internal improvements and the commercial interests of the Island, were brought under con sideration. Liberal .provision woaiiitute for constructing pew roads between the several townships; 'measures were taken for procuring a suitable residence- for the Governor until arrange ments were made for erecting a new Government House, .and other public buildings ; and, the :subject of 'the :addition of Charlotte Town, Three Rivers, and Richmond Bay to the mmt bet of free ports in North' America, was revived ; a subject of infinite importance under any circumstances, tnore particularly in the event of a decline in ship-building, (for some years the principal branch of trade in the Colony), compelling the buil. tiers to embark their capital in other pursuits.

In the general 'disarrangement of Financial and Commercial Relations, it were difficult to decide on any line of conduct, by which Mini sters should choose the wisest course. There nevertheleil arc certain ;points, ,wliich It re quires but little consideration, to meet with a de cided negative. A loan in the shape of Exchequer Bills fur instance might greatly aggravate tht present finatiCial 'embarritsiment. Although more than one million, as it is believed, has been applied by the Bank to the taking off Exchequer Bills, —those Securities were nt a discount of tit a°, this day, at one o'clock. What, then, would, be their value, were five millions to be added to the amount now pressing on the market ? They must evidently, fall to a rate of discount, perhaps ex. ceeding the utmost known point of depression. I The principal buyers would, be debtors to the Revenue, and, as Ministers are aware, the Exchequer would be replenished—only by Exchequer Bills ! This may be taken as the true reason of the pertinacious firmness with which Ministers have resisted the importu nities that assail th e m from all sides. The Bank will, therefore, according to appearances, , be finally driven into the measure so strongly urged by Minit•ters—and make advances upon goods. That the Directors should consent to this measure without due assurance of Pro« tection, and indemnity, will not b e sus p e cted ; though it were not difficult to ahoy' ) that the' Bank of England has a - very deep interett in prompt relief being administered to the ,Merchants—especially of the metropolis. The actual amount of Commercial Bills, fall ing due on the 3d and 4th of next month, it may not be possible to estimate, but it it be lieved in the Commercial world, that 'accept maces, exceeding two * millions sterling, fall due about that period. It is very well known, that at the beginning both of Dec. and Jan. Bills were renewed, to at least that amount. The propor tion of this paper that may be held by the Bank of England cannot be known ;—but it can not be doubted that it is considerable. Thus, to enable the parties to honour Bills which, are the representatives of property, the Bank will in effect become Ifie depository of actual pro perty, its place of the Bills by which that property is axsutned to be represented. By this operation the London merchant may obtain relief—but what assistance will be afforded to the merchant of the out-ports, the suffering manufacturer, and the starving manufacturing population ? If the proposed relief be restricted to the metro polis, the Mercantile and Manufacturing interests in the Provinces, may sink beneath the pressure of the moment, ere relief can reach them through the effects consequent on the possible relief, to be afforded to the London merchant anti negociant.

The letters received yesterday from the Con tineot shew,' that commercial distress is extend ing there, but particularly in the !malt of Per many, owing to the difficulties which have arisen in this country.

The purchases of Exchequer bills by the Bank, in conformity with. the instructions given by Mi nisters, are supposed by •snme leading. brokers, up to the present time, to be considerably ad vanced beyond:the first million : thoit i o, securities remain without variation at from. Is. discount to par ; and there being little or no demand for, them on the part of the public, it is. believed that they must fall to a discount as soon as the 2,000,0001. are exhausted.

SHOCKING DEATu.—A poor fellow, of the name of John Cole, met his death in the Bristol Infirmary, on Tuesday last, under singular but awful circumstances. The deceased, who, it appears, was afflicted with the disease called St. Vitus' dance, had a shower bath ordered to be administered to him. In consequence, the nurse and a blacksmith, named Redwood, placed him in the bath, which is supplied with hot and cold water by two parallel pipes. Redwood, knowing little of the process, turned the cock of one of the pipes to let in the water : the patient immediately screamed out, hut Redwood, thinking this was only in consequence of the shock of the water, took no notice ; in a few moments, however, he opened the door of the bath, when he found that he had unfortunately turned the wrong cock, and lel in boiling water. The deceased was taken out and put to bed, but his whole body was so dreadfully scalded, that, after lingering for 24• hours he expired in great oguny.—Verdict, cc Accidental Death ;" but the Jury, by way of precaution, ordered that the two pipes should he marked distinctly, but and cidd.
